nh340linQt.tgz (about 1.2M) (MD5 sum: 70d071cb2ebc9f2c88ae2951c0856d3c)
NetHack 3.4.0 Linux Elf with TTY and Qt-based graphics interfaces (including
tiles). This version requires the Qt libraries (version 2.2) which may
or may not be installed on any particular Linux system.
- Note:
- Most Redhat installations do not include Qt by default; it must be specifically selected. If you have Redhat 6.2, you probably have Qt 2.2; if you have Rednat 7.2, you probably have Qt 2.3.
- Note:
- If you have KDE 2 installed, you have Qt installed.

- README.linux
- Additional details about the Linux binary. If you are not running Redhat, check the System information in this file to see if you need to build from source, instead of using these binaries.
Step 2: unpack.
gunzip and untar (use -p to preserve ownerships and permissions) the package from / to put the NetHack files in /usr/games/nethack and /usr/games/lib/nethackdir.(If you have old record and logfile entries from a previous NetHack version, you might want to save copies before they get overwritten by the new empty files; old saved games and bones files won't work with 3.4.0.)
Step 3: install.
In addition to data files for running the game, you will find other useful things in /usr/games/lib/nethackdir (such as a copy of this README :-).The general documentation Guidebook.txt and the processed man pages nethack.txt and recover.txt should provide an introduction to the game.
The sample config file called dot.nethackrc can be used by copying it to your home directory as .nethackrc and modifying it to your liking.
If you are running X11 copy the nh10.pcf and ibm.pcf font files from /usr/games/lib/nethackdir to a X11 fonts directory (such as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc) and run "mkfontdir", then restart X windows to load them. Also consider putting NetHack.ad in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults or its contents in your .Xdefaults or .Xresources.
